Andrew Garfield was criminally over-looked at the Oscars this past year, but if he didn’t get a trophy, he at least gets some mechanical web-shooters. More on that in a moment.

We just got our paws on this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, and look what wall-crawling menace landed on the cover! We’re a little less than a year away from the release of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man, but it’s not too early to take a sneak peek at Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in their leading roles as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy.

Oh, and from multiple gratuitous angles. At least in Garfield’s case.

We also get our first look at Rhys Ifans as a still-mammalian Dr. Curt Connors (The Lizard) and Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

All set?

Hold on to your butts.

That goes for Andrew too.

Spider-crouch with the iconic, if totally bizarre fingertips-to-pavement gesture? Check.

Downturned gaze rife with guilt over death of father-figure post wrestling match? Check.

Spider-glutes? Double check.

Two bright-green reasons to avoid the George Washington Bridge? Double check.

I’m sold. This looks really good. I hate saying it because I am forever indebted to Sam Raimi for the Evil Dead trilogy, but I didn’t care one bit for the Spiderman movies. This looks great though. Andrew Garfield is a much better Peter Parker.

@Switch625 I am a studio exec. who worked on Spider-Man cloth is simply not an option, are target demos (18-34) prefer basketball. If the numbers were there BELIEVE ME I would go with tights, but our research and our deal with Spaulding are very specific.

@boosebaster The article gives away next to nothing about the plot. Not sure how much of the origin we’ll be seeing on screen. The focus is mainly on how this film relies more on practical effects shot in 3D as opposed to digital effects.

Wow… Emma Stone looks like she stepped right out of the comic. The more I see of the costume, the more I see the Ben Riley costume kitbashed with Spider-Man 2099. I like it though. I think this is going to be hella good.

I always thought organic webshooters was kind of lazy writing….i mean yea it makes sense as far as a bitten by a spider…get all the spider powers angle…but you dont have to deal with any problems with needing fluid in a pinch, using Peter’s brilliance and everything that goes along with mechancical shooters. Its all like well hes got some holes in his wrist, webbing comes out of it…nuff said. LOVE LOVE LOVE Mechanical shooters.

Obviously these are just still and promotional images. Not jumping to conclusions about the film at all. This is just aesthetics, and we won’t know anything til we get to see the acting. But just based off what we have here….

Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy…..PERFECT.

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker….eh. I’m sure he’ll do a great job with the acting as Garfield is a heck of an actor. But these images depict him as far too brooding and steamy for Peter Parker. At least my peter Parker. I’m sure they’re going for a Robert Pattinson type thing to make the young girls go wild. But those Blue Steel faces he’s pulling don’t do it for me.

Love the mechanical web-shooters nod to classic readers and think the suit looks sharp as hell, Garfields hair is pretty much how they’ve been drawing it in the comix for the last ten years most of the time too so fans should be happy. I also think its ironic that they took a natural blonde (Kirsten Dunst) and had her play Mary Jane a red head then now a natural red head (Emma Stone) to play a blonde, Gwen Stacy. Both girls look the part either way, just thought that was a bit ironic. I wonder if they’ll make Spidey fans the world over have a panic attack and and have the Lizard through Gwen off the bridge? lol!!!

@j206: “Blue Steel faces”..lol, love it, I agree to disagree, I love some darkness and edge to any character and am a huge Spidey fan, but do think we need some smiling laid back images of him in the suit, not campy or brooding but comfortable, I think those faces are the result of a fairly unknown to the general public actor taking on a huge role defense expression, trying to reassure himself as well as us that he has it under control and do think he has the range and will play all the angles for a multi dimensional character/complex being that we all are, that has to go through the motions like any human and can’t be smiling or brooding all the time.

Looks cool! I don’t want to see President Bartlett get killed though. Fuck sally field, can’t aunt may get killed this time around!

Everytime I look at him crawling upside down I wonder if he has the itty-bitty claw things that tobey maguire had when he was spidey. so is it possible that he’s that strong he’s holding himself up by his fingers and just using his feet to balance himself or something?
